Pete can be seen sitting on éne of .the wide: porches’ out at’ the Doukhobor Village whittling away on a hunk of wood.-During the winter, clad.in a purple woolen shirt, (handwoven'‘and sewn by his wife, Mary), he works on his spoons inside, warmed by a. wood stove. He sits surrounded by birch logs, not. Sets to feed his! fire, but for: cutting out his‘spoons. -' Pete is an artist in the Russian craft of spoon carving — 2 now an artform, but once’ a necessity. “In Russia it was necessary to’ have spoons,” he told me. “If you didn't'have a spoon, you didn't eat. The large ones,” he said, pointing toa gigantic round spoon, the bow] of which is about the size of a large soup bowl,:“are used at weddings for big pots: of borsch, or for the steambaths.” The small ones were’ used t either for serving or for eating. Pete learned this craft from his father who wasa master at it, and who passed this love and this ability,on to his son. The young Russign boys, Pete told me, could always be seen going at a hunk of wood with a chisel. And the beautifully finished spoons were made without any electric lathes, ig saws, skill saws, or sanders, Pete fashions his spoons using the same metal tools that his father used — antiques now that are more than 60 years old. ‘As we talked, Pete picked up a rough piece of birch and began cutting away at it with a rasp. He then chose'a chisel from a,collection to begin shaping the rough log. He placed this into the log, then pouaded it with a handmade mallet- until ‘the wood ‘fell -away in~ pieces. Although “some contemporary spoon-makers use power tools with excellent results, Pete prefers to ‘atick to the time-worn-method of mouscle-power. “You have to work it and workit until you get. it perfectly the way you want-it.” ~ !Tinquired as to what: grade‘of sundpaper he uses to get’ is ‘“gueh a smooth’ finish. And he ‘just: smiled. ‘In-old Russia - sandpaper just-didn't' exist. Spoonmakers instead used a broker piece of glass,’ ‘running -up and down the spoon. “That's how. they did it'a long time-ago,” he said,. =~ Pete uses maple, cherry, birch; or apple wood, which he scrounges from around the area. “People know me. ‘They call and say, ‘I'm going to chop down a cherry tree,’ so I go over and get the wood.” I admired a couple of dark spoons which I * family.” He continued. “Those who lose’ their iw - for their country and. those. who lose, their lives, refusing to pie : . presentation of Pate’ work.

Robson's early history by pioneer Marlorie (Fowler) Galbraith. The feature takes:a look back at the times, and the people _ events that made them special. By Marjorie (Fowler) Galbraith Evenings were spent at home in those early years, but we didn’t feel deprived, as I recall. We made our own entertainment, There would be seven of us with just our own family members, plus the boarder when we ‘had one. Often the Jordans, who had no family, would j join us in a caaiel i the evenings for a game of “pit,” or checkers, or crolinole. There was usually a cat or two willing to help out with the amusement. ? Dad would have his paper to read, as we continued to- get the Pilot Mound paper for some ‘time, also the Montreal Star, and‘ later on the Nelson News. The. department store catalogues — Eaton's and Simpson’ ‘8 also occupied a fair amount of our time: They were our. - “shopping centres,” as all our goods, except for groceries, came by mail order. The catalogues would arrive early in the fall and a large order would be made up — winter clothes for school or for “best,” or material for Mother to make dresses, ete. for us. There was no money to spare for luxuries, but we always had clothes to wear, even though some of them might have been hand-me-downs, Once an order was despatched, we would eagerly await. ‘the arrival of our parcel. The arrival of a parcel always made for an exciting day! ~ Another particular day to remember, in our household, was the day we made apple butter, or Dutch applesauce, as we'called it: Although Mother was of Scotch-Irish descent, she had been raised in a Dutch settlement in - Ontario and had learned many of their sayings and hed * acquired many of their recipes, one being for a'dark red - mapplessuce which was a staple of our diet in those early day: When the fall apples were at. their peak and there were lots of windfalls, Mother would announce it was time to - make our applesauce — that is, our special applesauce,’ HMR SOCIETY GROUNDS is president oO Doukhobor Historical” - Pet Society, ‘an : : country they passed throligh. In Israel Pete was presented with a plaque and large picture of the city of Jerusalem declaring that Pete is an honorary “pilgrim.” He remembers aservice in Israel where they stood around an eternal flame alight to remember the holocaust of World.

You never have to argue with your wife,” he stated with a wink. . not the regular kind which we also consumed in quantity. * After supper, Dad would bring out the apple-peeler. ‘Working. this implement involved pressing an apple on two. prongs and rotating it against a blade by turning a handle. Dad usually operated this, while the rest of us * would use knives to peel and slice the apples, which had _ been brought to the back porch earlier in the day. the brim with fruit. Extra fruit would be put in kettles to allow for boiling down. This boiling was started early the * following morning, and‘went on for four’or five hours — I'm not sure about the duration of time. To the apples were added water, sugar, spices and occasionally cider, if ‘there happened to be any available at the time. (Dad being a tee-totaler, no cider was made at our house, as I remember.) The ‘mixture had: tobe stirred constantly and a fire kept at a steady heat, so someone had to be on duty all the timé, even at mealtimes. Dad had ‘contrived a paddle, with a long handle so that one didn’t have to stand too close to the stove, and we would spell each other off o1 Pe the job. Gradually the white apples would turn a rich color, and a spicy.fragrance would fill the air. -When Mother pronounced the brew done, and it‘could be: pulled off the heat, I expect we all breathed a sigh of rélief, but for Mother there would still be the bottling of it to‘accomplish. Large earthen crocks were “usually used for this purpose,'and were stored on Ure cool cellar floor, * In this’ fashion, the thick sauce, like a jam, would keep FARMERS’ INSTITUTE’. .

There were also canned fruits, jams and jellies, pickles ete. stored in that cellar, to say nothing of apples, potatoes and root vegetables. Just a brief mention of my own growing-up years. I seemed to be more interested in outdoor things than in learning to cook or sew as my sister Verlie did. During the World War I years and after Dad worked on the steamer, I pruned the trees, under his direction, and helped with the spraying. Until my younger brother Earle was old-enough to take over the chore, I also cleaned the stable and looked after the animals. Mother had to milk the cow, however, until Earle was . old enough, to take over that task, as I never did master the milking technique. After I had finished elementary school, during the five years before the high school was’ established in Robson, I worked at several altferent things during the summer. T undertook to paint our house, white witha green trim and a green stained roof, I must have done an acceptable , job. because the next year I was asked to paint the village church. It was done in the same colors — green and white I stained the r f, also the roof of the small steeple which , set it apart’ ‘church. This steeple had a small spire to finish it off, and it became something of a problem to get it painted white. Dad-had to come, that day and help me set up a ladder to be able to reach it. The results again were satisfactory, so I was next hired to paint Mr. Wickham’'s. store. + This was a less lofty building, so presented no- particular problems. In addition to my painting contracts, Lalso picked fruit, of course, and packed apples in the fall. One summer I spent three months with an aunt on a farm near Medicine Hat. It was a large dairy farm employing a lot of men on a regular basis as well as extra help for harvest, so I had a busy time helping to keep them fed. During the summer of 1920 I worked in the Outlet Hotel at Procter as a chambermaid-waitress, and that was a demanding job too, but more appealing. The hotel at that time was a very popular rescrt, with patrons coming from the coast and from the Prairies to enjoy the excellent fishing available on Kootenay Lake and the excellent meals provided by the Chinese cook. After graduating from high school, I went to Victoria for normal schoo! training, and it was during that normal school year I met my future husband, although we didn’t marry until I had completed two years’ teaching — one year in Robson and one in, nearby Renata, a few kilometres upstream on Lowe? Arrow Lake. In retrospect I felt that those of us who grew up in Robson in those pioneering years were very privileged, and I personally am grateful for my upbringing. I know that there must have been financial problems facing our parents, but money was not an important element in our lives at that time. We had security, parents who cared about us, familiar playmates, and the whole valley to grow up in. We managed to get a great deal of enjoyment out of life.
